Some More Good Cane Mr. W. R. Lambert, living out n the Lime Sink road five miles rom Bainbridge, brought to the earch Light office Tuesday orning two stalks of cane, one if the green variety, the other ■ed, which shows up way above he average for cane in this sec ion at this season. The stalk of green cane shows 5 joints, that of the red 21 oints. As cane continues to cow till frost the samples nought here would indicate that Hr. Lambert will be hard to beat in the cane business this year. He says his other crops show up correspondingly well. It is a grati tying fact that most farmers in the county are doing their best to see just how much can be produced on their lands. In other words, th *y have gone more into the intensive plan of farming. This is the plan by which all the farmers can make clear money each year. A Present.

Probably no one is not actually engaged in agriculture, or the study of it. Bainbridge is to hold a “Boys and Girls Fair” next ’ Jonth for Decatur county, and a number of prizes are offered thv gh the City Federation—one of a ten days Scholarship in DomestW^Science at the State Agricultural School at Athens, during January 1913, to the girl making the best canning exhibit; one prize of $20.00 to the school making the best exhibit; also a prize of $5.00 to the boy growing the most perfect ear of com. For the benefit of any boy competing for this last prize, the Federation has secured from the State College of Agriculture, the cut below, of two ears of corn. Ml Mr. Campbell, State Agent of Bovs and Gjrj *Aibs, states that these are not perfect ears of corn, but the;,r\i..fc'St *to perfect of rny pictures he ceuld send at this time. He says: “Y^y will note that the corn is well filled, the rows are close together, and the com is well filled, the rows are close together, and corn is very compact on the cob. The objection to the longer ear is that it ta pers too much towards the end. The shorter ear is almost cylin drical in size and shape from one end to the other. The objection is that the rows do not run exactly straight.” Killing at Hutchinson’s Ferry Just before going to press, news was received by the Search Light of the killing last night of Mr. Robert Cloud, woods rider for Mr. J. F. Tolar. The killing was at Hutchinson’s Ferry and was done by a negro named Yancy Knowles. The particulars in short, so far as can be learned are that Deputy Sheriffs Lewis and Mar tin had gone to the place to ar rest another negro. On arriving they found that the negro in company with the other negro Knowles, were away some dis tance. The officers, in company with Mr. Robert Cloud and Mr. Fletcher Griffin, hid themselves near the cabin to await their re turn. The two negroes came in later and sat down outside the cabin. While sitting there the officers and men heard them plotting to kill Mr. Cloud, with whom they had a difficulty yes terday afternoon. They finished talking their plot snd went into the cabin, which the deputies and men immediately surround ed. Deputy Martin went in and arrested the negro for whom they had a warrant, and brought him out. Deputy Lewis then went in to arrest Knowles. When he got inside and struck a match Knowles sprang out at a door, where Mr. Cloud Was stand ing. The negro and Mr. Cloud both fired at each other about the same time Cloud’s shot missed the negro but the negro’s shot struck Cloud just about the point of the shoulder and the bullet ranged diagonally through the body. Mr. Cloud staggered around the corner of the cabin tnd fell. He was dead in a few $1.00 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE Death of Wm.
